Food Blog Round-Up
OK, so you need to know that we love Veselka. Maybe it reminds us of our grandmother's cooking, maybe it's the portions, maybe it's just a magical place, but we love it. We own two Veselka t-shirts and a few of their place settings. So we are overjoyed to hear that they now deliver, although this is a little disturbing. Can we sign a petition or something? And, how much do you think we'll have to tip to get them to deliver to Berkeley? Then, just when we had gotten over our nostalgiac swoon at seeing Veselka name-checked in a Bay Area blog, we surfed over to Eggbeater and had to wipe our drool off the screen and then head over to Poulet immediately, because, you see, we also love butterscotch, and couldn't agree more that it does seem to be, in fact, the forgotten sweet. We're glad Shuna's trying to counter that, one dessert at a time. (If all you know of butterscotch is Werther's Originals, Jell-O Instant Pudding or butterscotch chips then you definitely owe it to yourself to find out about the real deal.)
So there you go, two absolute food-obsessions of ours, out in the open. It could only be better if someone talked about cheese, tea and cupcakes. It was a good week.
What else was worthy of obsessing this week? Well, if you find yourself comparing the temperature of wines delivered by two different companies, you may be obsessive. Bad food puns combined with a new way to cook "scrambled" eggs? Obsessive. (BTW, we actually love the pun.) Haddock probably isn't obsessing anymore, after a long post about an a$$h0!e farmer, but it sounds like he was beforehand. (Link is SFW, but there is profanity in the title, which, depending on your filterware, may get the post blocked.) And it probably wasn't obsession, but it definitely took some determination from Starchmouse to save her ganache.
And it may not be sweltering, but it's still summer, so cool off with a few fruity drinks, including 21st Amendment's Watermelon Wheat, and some inspired infused vodka. Someday we'll share the story of how we came to be drinking crow and gecko infused vodka. (Short version: crow bad, gecko good.)
